My wife enjoys my potroast, and I never make one with only two pounds
of meat, it's usually a 4-5 pound roast, pot roast shrinks a lot. I
find it silly to go through all that long low simmering for a
miniscule amount. Once cold from the fridge it's very easy to slice
thin. We like cold potroast sandwiches too, very good with
horseradish sauce. My secret ingredient is to braise the roast in 12
ounces of beer. It's very rare I drink beer but I keep some for
cooking... good for bread baking too. Mostly I buy a dark ale.
